Look for a list of books that are current or this year’s best sellers, and see if they are at the library. Ask other people for their book recommendations. You can probably reserve the books at the library so you can check them out when they are returned.
ITo stay off the computer – had to install this program called Freedom which costs $ 10; you can use it 5 times for free before you buy it. Basically it lets you set a certain amount of time that you can’t be on the computer (except to do things like write a word document or create a spreadsheet) It will not let you access any websites for that amount of time. The only way you can get back online is to shut down the computer and restart it. The website is:

There is one version for Mac and one for Windows.

A lot of us are addicted to the computer, LOL!! Well, if not addicted, it can very easily take the place of life experiences and socializing, because we can do so many things on it. But first of all, you need to stop worrying about what people think about you…that can paralyze you and you gotta get over that and do whatever you like doing, don’t think you are the only one out there doing stuff alone, I go out alone all the time and I love it…lots of people love to shop and do things alone and no one pays any attention to them, I promise you! Secondly, have you considered maybe a pet, like a cat or dog? They are a true companion and need attention and love and that can fill up your hours with love from your pet, that is if you are able to put that kind of time and energy in the pet. Otherwise, finding a hobby that you like can give you a creative outlet. And you if you still find yourself back on your computer, you can do many creative things with that too, such as make greeting cards or get into photo shops and play with photography, I like Smilebox for making fun photo collages to give as gifts, type up recipes and make a recipe book…there are lots of things you can use the computer for that isn’t just wasting time but doing something constructive!
